Code of the Street

[Intro]
Yeah…
Once you step on the block, you live by the law
Break it once, it’s on you forever—no pause

[Verse 1]
Streets got a code, yeah, you live or you die
One slip, one lie, and the block test your pride
Talk too much, move too fast, they notice the weak
The whispers get loud, the revenge is sleek
Loyalty ain’t cheap, respect is earned
Every mistake a lesson, some lessons burned
Seen homies fall for playin’ with the wrong crew
Code of the street—betray, it’s written on you

[Hook]
Code of the street, break it once, pay the price
Life don’t forgive, every move like dice
Trust is currency, lies will sever
One wrong step, you’re bound forever
Code of the street, rules carved in pain
Bend ‘em, break ‘em, streets remember your name

[Verse 2]
Don’t snitch, don’t cheat, don’t cross the line
Every corner got eyes, every alley got signs
Rumors spread fast, like fire in the wind
One slip in the night, and your fate’s pinned
I seen kids act brave, then vanish in the mist
Forgot the code, now their names just exist
Lessons in the blood, respect ain’t optional
Break the code once, consequences unstoppable

[Bridge]
Every block a teacher, every night a test
Code of the street, survival’s the quest
Whispers in the wind, warning in the dark
Step wrong, burn bridges, leave a permanent mark

[Verse 3]
I walk the line, respect in my chest
Learned the code young, put it to the test
One betrayal too many, and the story’s done
The streets never forget what you’ve begun
I keep my circle tight, my words measured
One wrong move, life’s treasure’s confiscated
Code of the street—etched deep in the vein
Live by the rules, or get burned in the flame

[Hook/Outro]
Code of the street, break it once, pay the price
Life don’t forgive, every move like dice
Trust is currency, lies will sever
One wrong step, you’re bound forever
Code of the street, rules carved in pain
Bend ‘em, break ‘em, streets remember your name
